## Resource

Most people have heard of the five stages of grief — denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. And most people think they're supposed to move through them in order, check each one off, and come out healed on the other side. But that's not what the research says, and it's not what grief actually looks like in real life. In today's episode, Celeste sets the record straight on the stages of grief — what they were actually meant to do, and why forcing yourself through a checklist might be making your healing harder, not easier. If you've ever felt like you're grieving wrong, this one will give you a lot of relief. Today's shift: Let go of the timeline you think you're supposed to be on — and trust where you actually are today. visit the wellness center stwyt.com Follow Celeste podcast page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow Celeste Personal Page on tick tock , facebook and instagram Follow the wellness center on tick tock , facebook and instagram
